Pepperoni and Egg Sammie

When I was in High School, my friend's dad made us a pepperoni and egg sandwich for breakfast one Saturday morning. I turned my nose up at it because it sounded NASTY, but I ended up trying it and LOVED it. (I had to eat my words, but it ended well.)

I have since made this breakfast many times and have introduced it to a few people. I'm not sure if they've ever made it again, but hopefully they have. It's so delicious!!!


Here is what you need:
  • 2 slices of bread
  • 6 - 9 pepperoni (depending on how much you like pepperoni)
  • 2 - 3 eggs (depending on how hungry you are)
  • sprinkle of grated cheese
  • 1 tsp butter

Here is what you do:
  • Cook the pepperoni in a skillet until it is translucent and starting to get a tiny bit crispy on the edges
  • While pepperoni cooks, whisk eggs and cheese together in a small bowl
  • Add egg mix to skillet (you don't need any other oil because the pepperoni has taken care of greasing the pan)
  • Turn temp to med-low and leave skillet alone for a minute or so until it starts to look like an omelet (the egg will turn white and will firm up a bit...see pic below)
  • Turn heat off and carefully lift the egg mix and flip it over so the other side can cook (it will most likely flip in large sections...that's what you want)
  • When the other side is cooking, toast bread
  • Spread with butter and then layer the egg and pepperoni mix between slices


Seriously. Don't be afraid. Just try it! If you like eggs, cheese, pepperoni, and toast then you'll LOVE this meal! You can even make it for dinner.
